I've had Fios internet only since 2013.
There's cat5 from the service pole to the Verizon ONT. The ethernet port is connected and run directly to the WAN/Internet port of the Asus router. This is situated in the main level of the house.
The office is on the second level and theres an Asus access point. The access point is connected using a lan port via cat5 to the Asus router on the main level.
DHCP disabled on both main router and the access point. Static IP addresses assigned.
Internet is working without issue.
Fast forward to December 2020. Upgraded the internet speed to gigabyte connection and wanted to try Fios TV.
Ran RG6 cable from the Verizon ONT to the 2 way splitter At the splitter connected one line to the Verizon G3100 router. Of course no Verizon rep told me that I needed to use a Vrizon router.
The other coaxial connects to second two way splitter.
At the second spiltter there are two rg6 cables connected. These rg6s cables previously connected to the directv dvrs.
The Verizon router is not setup as primary, its configured as a bridge. DHCP disabled, static IP address assigned. WiFi is disabled
I am able to access the admin page of the router using the static IP address.
When I connect the first of the Fios TV One (4100) the setup fails. The message is unable to detect router.
Should I configure the Verizon router as primary and disable WiFi. I j want to use the Verizon router for TV only. If the Verizon router is set as primary the wan/internet port should be connected. The Asus router is then connected via the lan ports?
Do I need to release the IP before doing any of this?
Can I still connect the Asus and Asus access point and use that for internet?
